What marine radio channels to use on LOTW

Hey guys,

Coming up to LOTW for only the second time ever in a week. We've got a marine radio but I'm wondering which channels are used on LOTW just in case we needed to use it for an emergency?

Thanks!

Our buddy KAZ has a list of all channels used by the charter captains on the lake. I have been searching for it but cant find it. So until it gets posted remember this.

16 is the hailing channel. Make contact and meet at another channel. If you put your radio on scan for just a few minutes and pay attention you will know who is on the radio and what channels they are using. You will find on the east side of the lake busiest freqs are from 72 to 88.

I wish I could have found that big list.

I'm on the pond this week and when I get home I'll try to post the list.. We usually monitor channel 82 as that is where most of the guides hang out and pass info to each other.. Fishing has been good. We spent yesterday and today in 31' off the Fields in Zipple Bay. There was probably 25 Charters out there drifting with Spinners and crawlers. Released over ten in the slot or over. Biggest was 29.5". Great fish fry tonight..

Where are the "fields"? I am more framilier with the rocky pt area. Hope the weather cooperates this weekend!

The field is between Zipple Bay and Sandy Shores. It is a farm field that comes right out to the lake shore. It is just south of the line of houses from Birch Beach to Sandy Shores.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
